I cant find it in search, I cant find it at Jungle Jims so please help me find the company who makes the double backpack blower rack. I know it exists, I saw it at expo but ya think I can remember it now.

It holds 2 blowers one above the other and I thought it was Jungle Jim but its not on their site.

Any help? Thanks

I believe that Trimmer Trap make the double BP rack. If not, try Green Touch.

Check out Gridiron racks .. They are modular aluminum channel rack s that you can customize any which way you want.. Two blowers one above the other or 4 or what ever.. They are made by novae .. I think it's www.novae.com

Jungle Jims i have one on my trailor, mine holds three trimmers and 2 backpacks. I got mine at the Expo the cooler holder,twin backpack racks,and 3 trimmer holders,all for less than 230,hard to beat that price. Marks Mowing Service

Jungle Jim makes it. We have trimmer trap too. I personally like the simplicity of the Trimmer Trap vs. the Jungle Jim.

Hope the link works. I have the the Gear Caddy which includes the blower rack. This system is awesome. I locks easily and only needs WD-40 once a month to keep it smooth.

Be careful we hav ethe jungle jim racks, no real complaints, but we do have a couple minor ones.

We recently purchased the newest echo backpack blower, and because of the plastic support turning outwards towards the rear it is unable to latch onto the "hook" on the rack. Very disapointing. Also we have had a couple of weld break loose. The rack is only one season old.

Chris-I know that for some brands of rack, can't remember, 2 of the three that I know of, (Green touch, Jungle Jim, or Trimmer Trap) they make an extended latch so you can get your blower on there. If your blower is anything like Stihls, you have to have this attachment or it won't fit on there because the hook is on the the housing and not on the backrest. Hope this helps!

As far as the Gear Caddy I have had mine for 1 1/2 yrs with no problems and it was bought off of E-Bay as a reconditioned unit. It only cost about 1/2 of the retail price. the only original problem, after recieving shipment is that it was missing 1 (one) bolt and 1 (one) nut. Not a big problem. This unit is great and I will buy a new one soon for my other trailor.

Thanks scag48. I think when I get some spare time i will just cut the hook off weld and extension on both it and the securing rod and take care of it that way.


You wouldnt happen to have a link to any puctures of what you are talking about though would you?

Trimmer Trap makes a different rack for the Stihl BP.

The Gridiron rack grabs the blowers from the sides not the top.. so you can put any one on there.. They dont' have any pics on the web site of the back pack blower rack. I cant' put any pics on the site from my trailer... But it can bolt to the wall of the trailer or to their aluminum channel on an open trailer and adjusted up or down to accomodate your particular set up.. It hold s very securly.. a bottom plate supports the weight of the blower and a clamp grabs both sides of the blowet to hold it securly.. the clamp releses with one hand.. no weld to crak on this one it's all fabricated steel

Thanks for all of the informative replys.

My trailer has 1x2 wood sides which limits my choices a little. Does anyone here have wood sides instead of the channel?
